Well the first part might not be true, as a north african immigrant in Europe I am very well acquainted with rejection in so many things I lost count, a simple case is searching for a flat in Munich which made the news a few years ago. My name only is a reason for rejection and frankly nothing can ever prepare you for that unless, you get a lot of rejections. Has it ever stopped me? no. Thank you for clarifying though, I get it, I definitely had a different definition of what a rejection is which is what caused my confusion. For the last part, I absolutely agree, some people tend to be too focused on the rejection itself and define themselves by it instead of doing something to changing it or themselves. Which always leads to bad things.
